Evidence considered
- Tribunal relied on its own general knowledge of market rent levels in LB Hounslow, identifying a range of £1850-£2000 pcm for similar property type and size.

Tribunal's reasoning
No inspection took place; the tribunal relied on written/photographic representations and its own expertise. Using its knowledge of market rents in the borough for similar sized flats (range £1850-£2000 pcm), the tribunal determined £1900 pcm, matching the landlord's proposed rent, assuming the property was fully fitted and in good order with no disrepair issues raised.
